[QUOTE="Maidhc O Casain, post: 5679988, member: 29558"] I'll probably pick up a couple of levels of something else early on as well - not sure if I'd start right out with them or wait, but for his background it would make more sense to start with the other classes. With WD playing an Oracle I'm thinking about a level of Rogue for his time on the streets, then one of Bard (he spent some time serving as the entertainment at the inn), then to the priesthood. WD, this would (so far) make you the party healer for a couple of levels, unless we can pick up a wand and/or some potions. Would this bother anyone in the party? It makes sense for the background and personality I've got in mind. We'd have two Rogues in the party at first level, but my intention would never be to serve that function for the party - just a level dip to pick up some class skills and a little extra damage. Same for the dip in Bard. Mechanically, I think it'll be OK - Clerics don't get a capstone ability, and he'll pick up 9th level spells at 17 so he'd ultimately be giving up a dice of channel damage and four spells/day. Of course, he'll be a little behind the curve for his spell selection as well. Am I missing anything with my reasoning, other than the lack of his healing benefits for a couple of levels? Anyone have strong opinions about it in regards to party composition? [/QUOTE]
